Page "Hot swapping" Paragraph 47
from
Wikipedia
Although today many different systems can interchange games and multimedia ( i. e. Blu-ray discs ) without powering down the system, this was not often the case with early-generation systems.
However similar systems of the time, such as the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo 64, would freeze up and could potentially become corrupt if the game cartridge was removed with the power on ; therefore manufacturers specifically warned against such practices in the owner's manual.
